#Threads killing #Twitter and then being forced to fully support #ActivityPub (and not try to fuck with it) thanks to #EU regulation would be pretty awesome. And other governments could then adopt similar laws and other corporations could comply by just joining us here too. A simple path forward. Pretty cool. #fediverse #socialweb

@wjmaggos I hate that the #EU gets to dictate modern technology. All #BigTech really should be saying "screw y'all" and stop operating in the #EU altogether until they stop with their nonsense.

@realcaseyrollins Can't agree. Not all regulation is good, but forcing interoperability is.

@wjmaggos Hmm... Now that you say that, I'm looking ahead to the political landmine of congresspersons having official accounts, and then getting banned for TOS.... And then facing potential constitutional pushback since this time online free speech will actually be a first amendment issue since it's government property. Or at very least they may appeal to the same rules (that I'm assuming exist?) that currently prevent congress from banning any congressperson from speaking in congress.

@ill_logic yea but they have government paid for websites too. same thing. what will be nice is that they can have separate accounts that we can verify which is official govt vs campaign based on URL.

@wjmaggos I don't think it's the government's job to tell us what data can be sold or what cables we can useFor wireless communications I do think that's a bit different though, the air tends to be the domain of the government, so I don't mind regulations over #5G signals and whatnot

@realcaseyrollins @wjmaggos Big tech survives by pulling money from EU to US. No other market has as much customers with good enough purchasing power. People can.talk about the population of Asian countries but most of us are poor and the rest of us misers.

@abhijith @wjmaggos Eh I somewhat disagree, as #India develops, it becomes a more and more lucrative market to sell products to

@realcaseyrollins @wjmaggos It is overhyped. There is price hike for every essential commodity. I got 50% hike in my monthly salary but I am able to save even less money this year than last year because everything is so expensive. Only the big three Indian companies are boosting their profit. Ordinary citizens are feeling the heat. There are no mass protests because everyone is so brainwashed about Modi being some kind of god. In reality there are holes in the ship and it is sinking.

@realcaseyrollins @wjmaggos India and China are at the top of GDP table because of their population. When you look at GDP per capita we are at 127th and China is at 73rd. We are still poor... just.. poor people with smartphones and unlimited mobile data and free entertainment.
